From bikinis to superhero spandex, it's all in a day's work for these film folk!

The celebrity way is anything but regular.

Every little thing about their lives is off-the-wall.

And since what they do is the source of this distinction, the biggest difference shows at work as well.

While most mortals slip in formals or high street fashion to office, Sukanya Verma looks at what a Bollywood star's work wear looks like.

Orange is the new black definitely holds true for global darling Priyanka Chopra.

The actress looks ready to slay in a tangerine jumpsuit on the sets of Quantico.

Johnny Depp has music playing in his ear when he acts, Kirsten Dunst once revealed.

We don't know if that's Ranveer Singh's modus operandi as well, but he seems to be on the right track strutting in a dhoti to a motivational tune while out and about filming Bajirao Mastani.

It's just another day for Bollywood and the crew of Shah Rukh Khan's Zero. And not a single eyelid bats when a head-to-toe bedecked Katrina Kaif walks past them.

What do movie stars and lifeguards have in common? They get to wear swimsuits to work.

Most work places have traditional day once in a year, but in Bollywood it's pretty much all year round.

Who wouldn't love to dress like Batman or Black Widow for work?

From YRF employee to YRF heroine, Bhumi's professional life has changed dramatically. So has her wardrobe.

Socks and sari are her OOTD as part of her prep up to play Jaya Sharma in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha.

While most of us whine about our ghagras languishing in the cupboard, Bollywood stunners get to sport theirs all the time.

Here's Madhuri in hers on the sets of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani for a song picturised on her and leading man Ranbir Kapoor.

'Yup, that's what work looks like today and that's what I am wearing to work,' exclaims actress and anchor Mandira Bedi perfectly encapsulating the wacky nature of an actor's work wardrobe.
